4. ❑ Objective of Machine Design
▪ The main objective of Machine Design is to prepare the graphical model of the
machine to satisfy the need of the user without failure and which could be produced
at an optimum cost.
▪ Depending upon the functions, the various elements are subjected to different loads.
▪ For the design of these elements, it is required to understand the types of loads and
their effect on the elements.

5. ❑ Types of Stresses
▪ When any part or machine element is subjected to external force (load), the internal
resistance from the material of the part is produced. The resistance to external load
per unit area of cross section of the part is known as stress
𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟2

7. ❑ Tensile stress
▪ The stress induced due to tensile load on the part is known as tensile stress.
▪ The stress induced is in opposite direction of the load and is in axial direction.
▪ It is perpendicular to the cross sectional area resisting the load (effected by the load).
𝜎𝑡 =
𝑃
𝐴
P = Tensile load (N),
A = Area of cross section (𝑚𝑚2
),
𝜎𝑡 = Tensile stress (
𝑁

8. ❑ Compression stress
▪ The stress induced due to compression load on the part is known as compressive
stress.
▪ The stress induced is in opposite direction of the load and is in axial direction.
▪ It is perpendicular to the cross sectional area resisting the load (effected by the load).
𝜎𝑐 =
𝑃
𝐴
P = Compressive load (N),
A = Area of cross section (𝑚𝑚2),
𝜎𝑐 = Compressive stress (

9. ❑ Shear stress
▪ The stress induced due to shear effect on the part is known as shear stress.
▪ The stress induced is in perpendicular direction of the load (axial direction).
▪ It is parallel to the cross sectional area resisting the load (effected by the load).
▪ When resistance is offered by the single section, it is known as single shear and when
the resistance is offered by the two sections, it is known as double shear.
𝜏 =
𝑃

(Single shear)
𝜏 = Shear stress (
𝑁

𝜏 =
𝑃

10. ❑ Bending stress
▪ When the external load is acting in the lateral direction perpendicular to the axis of
the part (beam), it creates bending and the stresses induced across the section of the
part is known as bending stress.
▪ When a beam experiences load like that shown in figure one the top fibres of the
beam undergo a normal compressive stress. The stress at the horizontal plane of the
neutral is zero. The bottom fibres of the beam undergo a normal tensile stress. It can
be concluded therefore that the value of the bending stress will vary linearly with
distance from the neutral axis.

10Gaurav Mistry
11. ❑ Bending stress
▪ When an external load causes only bending, the element is said to be subjected to
pure bending. The pure bending equation is given as follow:
𝑀 𝑏
𝐼
=
𝜎 𝑏
𝑦
=
𝐸
𝑅
or
Where,
▪ 𝑀 𝑏 = Bending moment,
▪ 𝐼 = Moment of Inertia,
▪ 𝜎 𝑏 = Bending Stress,
▪ 𝑦 = The distance between the
extreme fibre of the member from it’s
neutral axis,
▪ 𝐸 = Modulus of elasticity,
▪ 𝑅 = Radius of curvature,
▪ Z = section modulus.
▪ Due to bending the fibres below the neutral axis
are subjected to tensile stress and the fibres
above the neutral axis are subjected to
compressive stress.
▪ At neutral axis the stress will be zero.
𝜎𝑏 =
𝑀 𝑏
𝐼
𝑦
But
𝐼

= Z , Therefore, 𝜎𝑏 =
𝑀 𝑏

12. ❑ Torsional shear stress
▪ When the machine member is subjected to torque or twisting moment, the material
fibres are twisted and the resistance offered by the member is known as torsional
shear stress
𝑀𝑡
𝐽
=
𝐺𝜃
𝐿
=
𝜏
𝑟
or
Where,
▪ 𝑀𝑡 = Torque or twisting moment on
the shaft,
▪ 𝐽 = Polar Moment of Inertia,
▪ 𝜏 = Maximum Shear Stress,
▪ 𝑟 =radius of the shaft,
▪ 𝐺 = Modulus of rigidity,
▪ 𝜃 = Angle of twist,
▪ L = Length of shaft under twisting
▪ 𝑍 𝑝 =polar section modulus.
𝜏=

13. ❑ Factor of Safety
▪ In order to prevent the permanent deformation or failure of the part, the magnitude
of the induced stress should be well below the yield point stress
▪ It is defined, in general, as the ratio of the maximum stress to the working stress.

17. ❑ Cotter Joint
▪ A cotter joint is a temporary fastening and is used to connect rigidly two co-axial rods or bars
which are subjected to axial tensile or compressive forces.
▪ A cotter is a flat wedge shaped piece of rectangular cross-section and its width is tapered
(either on one side or both sides) from one end to another for an easy adjustment.
▪ As shown in the figure, the cotter joint mainly consist of three parts: (1) Spigot end (Male
Part), (2) Cotter and (3) Socket end (Female Part).

18. ❑ Cotter Joint
▪ Socket is a hollow cylindrical end of the
joint.
▪ Spigot is a solid cylindrical shape
assembled with the hole of the socket.
▪ On the perpendicular direction of the axis
of the joint, a rectangular shape hole is
made in both the ends which receives the
wedge shape element (cotter) to fit both
the ends.
➢ Applications of the cotter joint:
1. To connect two co – axial rods having
straight line motion.
2. To connect piston rod and cross head
of steam engine.
3. For cotter foundation bolts.
4. To connect two parts of the split
flywheel.
Design of Machine Elements
18Gaurav Mistry
19. ➢ Advantages of the cotter joint:
1. The joint can be opened/disassembled when needed.
2. Joint can be made robust by using forged spigot and socket ends using wedge
shape cotter to carry heavy loads.
3. Using sleeve, cotter joint can be used to connect two pipes used in structural
works.
❑ Cotter Joint
➢ Limitations of the cotter joint:
1. It is expensive to form the spigot and socket and hence it is relatively costly.
2. Requires more time in manufacturing the joints.
3. It is not advisable to use when the connected rods are subjected to rotary
motion.
➢ Material for the cotter joint:
▪ Generally, all the three parts of the joint – spigot, socket and cotter are made
from the same material i.e. mild steel (M.S.) or wrought iron.
▪ In case of heavy loads and to limit the overall size of the joint, it may be made
from alloy steel.
▪ Compared to spigot and socket end, the cotter is kept relatively weaker so that it
can fail earlier than spigot and socket and can be replaced easily and
economically.

➢ Design Procedure:
Let P = Load carried by the rods, d = Diameter of the rods, d1 = Outside diameter of socket,
D2 = Diameter of spigot or inside diameter of socket, d3 = Outside diameter of spigot collar,
t1 = Thickness of spigot collar, d4 = Diameter of socket collar, c = Thickness of socket collar,
b = Mean width of cotter, t = Thickness of cotter, l = Length of cotter,
a = Distance from the end of the slot to the end of rod,
σt = Permissible tensile stress for the rods material,
τ = Permissible shear stress for the cotter material, and
σc = Permissible crushing stress for the cotter material.

It is assumed that the load is uniformly
distributed over the various cross-sections of
the joint. And so the effect of bending in
cotter is neglected.

stresses may be used. The load is applied statically. Tensile stress = compressive stress =

In all the above relations, it is assumed that the load is uniformly distributed over
the various cross-sections of the joint. But in actual practice, this does not happen
and the cotter is subjected to bending. Which is neglected in the above case.
In order to find out the bending stress induced, it is assumed that the load on the
cotter in the rod end is uniformly distributed while in the socket end it varies from
zero at the outer diameter (d4) and maximum at the inner diameter (d2), as shown
in Fig.
